Fic rec: X-Men: First Class

[katikat]

"Room and Board" by smilebackwards | Charles/Erik | AU | Boarding school AU. | ~4.700

Erik has a mind like a file cabinet full of razors. Sharp, blood-tipped memories, locked safely away, but documented, remembered, catalogued A to Z.

When Erik helps Charles practice his control every night, he lets Charles glimpse them, but never come close enough that he might get cut.

What a lovely fic. I really like AUs where they meet as kids/teenagers...
